Cambodia Lyrics
As MHHD2 mentioned, this song is a cover of Kim Wilde's fantastic 1981 version. The song is (quite literally) about a soldier who is called to conduct bombing raids on Cambodia from an Air Force base in Thailand. When he returned, he was haunted by his actions. The truth of his deeds were lost in Cambodia...
That makes sense, but what to make of "She won't see his face again?"

"She won't see his face again." Most likely it means that she won't ever see the real him again, because he could never be the same. Or so I believe.

I was about to make note of what an 80's electro-pop sound got this album started, but then I looked into it I realized that that was the point =P. Sonic Diary [2006] is a collection of covers, mostly from music's most embarrassing yet most fondly remembered decade. Cambodia is one of my favorites, but the whole disk is great.
i heard this song and it's absolutly fabulous
I think this song is about a wife who's husband's plane either crashes or gets shot down over cambodia and how she doesn't know what happened pretty easy to understand actually
Her husband probably went MIA in Cambodia. I think the call coming through, not seeing his face again, only one thing left, etc. means that they found his corpse and were shipping it back.
